International Coalition on Iraq Protests: No Place for Violence
Posted: 03.10.2019 | 08:20 GMT | Arab World NewsReuters
The US-led international coalition has expressed deep concern over the riots that accompanied the recent protests in Iraq, calling on all parties to ease tensions.
In a statement released early Thursday at the expense of Operation Hard Determination spokesman Colonel Miles B. Caggins, the coalition said that deaths and injuries among civilians and Iraqi security forces were of grave concern.
"We believe that peaceful and popular demonstrations are an essential element in all democracies, and there is no place for violence there."
The Russian news agency "RIA Novosti" quoted a spokesman for the coalition as saying that the targeting of its elements in Iraq is absolutely unacceptable, and praised the opening of the country's authorities urgently to investigate the fall of rockets in the Green Zone, stressing the steadfastness of the coalition support for the Government of Iraq in its war against "IS" .
The statement came in response to the protests witnessed during the last two days, the capital Baghdad and some southern provinces in Iraq, demanding better living conditions and job opportunities, accompanied by clashes between security forces and demonstrators that resulted in the death of at least seven people and wounding more than 400, prompting the Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi to impose a curfew in the capital from Thursday morning until further notice.

As anti-Iran sentiments rise, protests erupt in Iraq
October 3, 2019
Article Summary
Thousands of angry young Iraqis took to the streets, calling for dignity, transparency and services.

Demonstrators gather as they take part in a protest over unemployment, corruption and poor public services, in Baghdad, Iraq, Oct. 2, 2019.
As violent protests continued for a second day in Baghdad and other southern Iraqi cities, head of the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) Falih al-Fayyadh arrived in Washington to meet with US Defense Secretary Mark Esper Oct. 2. This comes in conjunction with the US Embassy in Baghdad urging all parties to avoid using violence.
The mass protests erupted on Tuesday. According to the Iraqi government, at least two people were killed and more than 200 wounded, including 40 security officers, during the first day of protests. Security forces used tear gas, water cannons and live fire to disperse demonstrators.
In a statement, Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi accused the protesters of rioting and called on all parties to calm down.
Former Iraqi parliament member and secretary-general of the Civic and National Forces Coalition, Shirouq Abayachi, who attended the protests and provided assistance to the injured people in the hospital, told Al-Monitor the number of casualties is much higher than what the government has reported. She said the number of dead has reached more than 20 and the wounded more than 500.
Iraq witnesses mass protests every year, which often end in violence. Protests are usually organized by the Sadrist movement or other opposition parties, but this time the protests were spontaneous. Most participants are young people, and they have used social media for organization and coordination.
Protests erupted again Oct. 2 in several suburbs in Baghdad, including Sadr City and Shaab, and other Iraqi cities, including the Shiite holy city of Karbala. Al-Monitor saw a number of burning tires and a heavy presence of security forces in different areas of Baghdad.
There are conflicting figures when it comes to the number of casualties, but the latest reports placed the number of dead from the two days of protests at nine.
In contrast to Abdul Mahdi's statement condemning the protesters' actions, Iraqi President Barham Salih called for positive responses to the protesters' demands, asking the security forces to provide full protection to the protesters.
Parliamentary speaker Mohammed al-Halbousi called for an impartial investigation and for the security forces to show restraint and not use excessive force with demonstrators.
Prominent Shiite clerics Muqtada al-Sadr and Ammar al-Hakim expressed support for the protesters' demands and criticized the prime minister for his failure to meet those demands and appropriately deal with the protests.
Sadr and Hakim are working on forming a strong opposition to Abdul Mahdi's government, even though they both were essential elements of forming said government in 2018.
Following the outbreak of the violent protests, the Iraqi parliament witnessed the formation of the Parliamentary Opposition Front, which includes members of Hakim’s Wisdom bloc, Sadr’s Sairoon Alliance, former Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi’s Nasr coalition and others. The Parliamentary Opposition Front issued a statement Oct. 2 to express full sympathy with the protesters’ demands; to call upon the parliament to convene a special session; to invite the prime minister to discuss the matter; and to find solutions and force the government to implement them.
Abayachi described the current protests as the worst in terms of the government’s reaction. She told Al-Monitor, “The main drive behind the protests is the misery of the Iraqi people’s reality and the clear failure of the Abdul Mahdi government in managing the Iraqi government and providing any solution for the long-term issues.” She asked Abdul Mahdi to fulfill the promise he made at the beginning of his term, that he would resign if he failed to address Iraq's issues.
Abayachi said the protesters are ordinary, young Iraqis who are mostly under 20 and do not have anyone to turn to, so they take to the streets.
“The protesters were fully peaceful. [They did] not carry any arms and did not [engage in] violent action against the security forces or other parties,” Abayachi said, adding that “the security forces were brutal, shooting live bullets [at] the protesters.”
Abayachi emphasized that the demonstrators feel the Iraqi government has failed to treat them with dignity.
Many protesters called for a homeland, or watan, in Arabic, and some also shouted slogans against Iran for interfering in Iraqi matters and supporting failed parties in Iraq.
The current protests were preceded by several events that fueled anger among the public.
Last week, the prime minister dismissed the deputy commander of Iraq's counterterrorism bureau, Abdul-Wahab al-Saadi, provoking anger and discontent among Iraqis. Many protesters carried photos of Saadi at the protests.
Saadi's dismissal caused discontent in several political parties, including the National Wisdom Movement, the Sadrist movement and Osama al-Nujaifi’s Iraqi Decision Coalition, raising suspicions over Iranian interference in his dismissal, as he was independent of Iranian proxies in Iraq, whether in the Iraqi army or the PMU.
In another incident, the Iranian ambassador in Baghdad, Iraj Masjedi, said in a TV interview with Dijlah channel last week that Iran would target the United States in Iraq if the United States threatened Iran. Iraqis took this as clear Iranian interference in Iraqi matters.
Earlier this week, there were reports that members of an Iraqi diplomatic delegation were harassed and arrested in the Iranian city of Mashhad, angering Iraqis and leading Iraq’s Foreign Ministry to close its consulate in the city.
Al-Monitor learned from a high-ranking source close to Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani that in a meeting between Sistani's son, Mohammad Reza Sistani, and the commander of Iran's Quds Force, Qasem Soleimani, Mohammad Reza warned Soleimani that if Iran continues to deal with Iraq as it has, the Iraqi streets will rise up.
Under such circumstances, if the protests continue, Abdul Mahdi will not be able to continue his term and will be forced to resign to placate protesters and calm the streets.

Why are Iraqis Protesting against the Govt?
From Al Jazeera. Any opinions expressed are those of the authors, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Iraq Business News. Iraq’s barely year old government is being forced to deal with the largest nationwide protests since taking over.
Riot police contained demonstrators in Baghdad on Wednesday, 24 hours after bullets and tear gas were fired.At least three people died and hundreds of others were injured in Baghdad as well as other cities.
The mostly young protesters are angry at high levels of corruption, unemployment, and poor public services.Are Iraq’s leaders listening? And why isn’t the government able to deliver?
Internet access cut across much of Iraq
Internet access has been cut off across much of Iraq including the capital Baghdad with connectivity falling below 70%, internet blockage observatory NetBlocks said, amid renewed anti-government protests that turned violent and spread nationwide.
Earlier on Wednesday social media platforms Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, as well as messaging application WhatsApp all appeared to be have been disabled across Iraq except in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region which has a separate internet infrastructure.
The services were only accessible by using a VPN, which effectively disguises the location of a device.
Graft is widespread and basic services such as power and water are lacking.
A government statement on Tuesday said 40 members of the security forces were among those injured and blamed “groups of inciting riots” for the violence.
At least six members of security forces were injured in Baghdad on Wednesday and five in Nassiriya.
The United Nations on Wednesday expressed concern over the violence and urged calm, with the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert reaffirming in a statement the right to protest.
The US Embassy in Baghdad urged all sides to avoid violence.

10-2-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ I feel we are so close and the waiting in these last days is very hard. We are told I may be under a NDA by midday tomorrow. I was told the NDA for people who are in the public like myself, Frank ect…may be stronger than the normal people’s NDA. So If I have to shut up...that is why. They may force me to be 100% quiet. I was told I probably will be able to post that Screen with the nest and the cash and golden egg in it with the 800 numbers...but won’t know for sure until I read the NDA...we hear anytime from now until Thursday for 800 numbers...but manage your expectations…
10-2-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Right now the rate is still being suppressed at the program rate. The program rate was supposed to be a temporary de-facto peg to the US dollar to help they through a time of high inflation and prevent hyper-inflation. The CBI has told us there is a process to getting the dinar “reinstated” and in use as an international currency once again. It is not as simple as just pulling a trigger and wamoo, the new rate appears on FOREX. [post 2 of 2]
10-2-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Just remember the banks do not make the decision for anything. They simple want the new rate to show up on FOREX and when it does they can use it “legally” to exchange customers who to come in with their currency. ...When the IQD does come back on FOREX and the other global currency exchanges it is called a “reinstatement”. The rate given hopefully will reflect the true and accurate value of the dinar. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
10-2-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 ...they've come to the realization that a dinar is a dinar in the country no matter what. 1 to 1 to the American Dollar. They're not going to go any higher than that...once they lift the value they will bring in the three zeros with no problem...it will take years to bring in the 3 zero notes.

There is a bout of laughter and weeping together when you listen and watch the statements of Abdul Mahdi government officials talking about popular demonstrations and their fear of the collapse of the political process and the fall of the regime !! But if this happens, it will be the first system in the universe to fall before it emerges !! And mankind will live since our master Adam peace be upon him an Iraqi miracle of disintegration to the effect that the system was not born but it can pass from nowhere to fall at once !!
No child or even a child in politics does not believe that there is a political system with the specifications of the existing systems in the world is in Iraq .. not the whole land, nor the institutions full, nor the whole army, nor overlapping classes, nor parties parties, nor nor .. The only thing Al-Kamel is the network of corruption and the militias of Suleimani and Nasrallah militias, sectarian, tribal, ethnic and regional classification, poverty, hunger, poverty, destitution, homelessness and drugs, and fighting all Iraqis of different affiliations and orientations.
By the standards of Jean-Rousseau, Hegel and Max Weber, there must be an institution and an entity that we call a state, in order to be able to enter the historical condition. But we in Iraq live tragedy fragmentation of society and the fading of the state according to the doctrine of political parties Islam is contrary to the origin of religion and the spirit of the times .. Perhaps the history of the son of a bitch can forget one day Human civilization genius of time and space.
